I'll bet there are serveral students giving thanks for their inspiring, dedicated, and caring teacher in one Walhalla High classroom. Today, I had the privilege of observing a real-life activity being taught to a group of students who were engaged in their learning. The students were expected to create a Thanksgiving menu and develop a plan for purchasing the appropriate amount of ingredients taking into consideration the number of family members to be served. Technology was utilized as students went online to "shop" for bargains. They also used a sale paper from a local grocery store to find the best buys. I applaud this teacher for taking the time to think of a creative way to actively involve students in an authentic learning situation.Happy Thanksgiving!
